   Gateway's evening program was great for me, as I was in a similar situation. Most of the clinicals were on the weekends as well.

    It also depends on the unit, in addition to what AZBlueBell said. Most people on my unit do most of their orientation on days, regardless of whether they're hired for nights or not. This is to get experience with the Intensivists, bedside bronchoscop...
